Tipples to tantalize and delight.
Accompanying an amazing dinner or socializing with friends, a few cheeky drinks add to the ‘joie’ of living. Remember not to over do it though!
While we do love a fabulous wine, vino is not the only alcoholic beverage worth exploring. There are so many unique and delicious options to discover. From craft beer to whiskey, each drink has its unique characteristics that can be enjoyed either as a refreshing drink or a fantastic pairing with your favourite dish. It’s important to remember to drink responsibly, the days of getting black out drunk and spending all day the next day hungover in bed just isn’t ok.
Enjoy, and cheers to exploring new and exciting alcoholic beverages!
Wine is a source of pleasure and relaxation, enjoyed in the company of friends and loved ones. To live your best life through wine, start by learning about different varietals, regions, and styles. Attend wine tastings, visit vineyards, and experiment with food and wine pairings. Wine can be a conversation starter, a sensory experience, and a form of self-care.
Remember that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to enjoy good wine. There are plenty of affordable, high-quality wines available, and you can also try making your own wine at home. Wine is all about the experience, and the memories you create with the people you share it with.
Now it’s not all about wine…
When it comes to alcoholic beverages, wine is one of the absolute greatest delights, however, there are so many other delicious options to explore beyond the fermented grape. From craft beer to whiskey, there is a whole world of enjoyable tipples waiting to be discovered.
Craft Beer
If you’re tired of the standard mass-produced beers, try a craft beer. Craft beers typically have higher quality ingredients and unique brewing methods, resulting in more complex and interesting flavours. With hundreds of breweries popping up across the globe, there is bound to be a style that suits your palate. From hoppy IPAs to rich stouts, there are endless options to choose from.
Gin
Simple yet complex, gin derives its unique flavours from juniper berries and other delightful botanical ingredients. Originally developed as a medicinal liquor by European monks. Enjoyed today with increasing popularity as a cocktail or a refreshing drink on its own. To really appreciate the fully flavours of your particular gin, be sure to use the perfect garnish and a quality mixer.
Cocktails
Cocktails are a classic choice for those who prefer a mixed drink. The possibilities are endless when it comes to cocktails; there are fruity, sweet, spicy, and sour options. If you’re looking for something refreshing, try a mojito or gin and tonic. If you’re in the mood for something strong and bold, a classic Manhattan or Old Fashioned are great options. And for those who prefer something sweet, try a margarita or cosmopolitan.
Ciders
Ciders are a great alternative for those who don’t like the taste of beer or wine. They are made by fermenting apple juice, resulting in a light, refreshing, and slightly sweet taste. There are a variety of ciders available, ranging from dry to sweet, and some are even flavoured with fruits like pineapple or cranberry. They’re perfect for sipping on a hot summer day or as a tasty after-dinner treat.
Whiskey
When it comes to hard liquors, whiskey is one of the most complex and sophisticated options. There are several types of whiskey, including bourbon, rye, Scotch, and Irish whiskey. Each variety has its unique flavour profile, ranging from smoky and peaty to sweet and smooth. Sipping on a glass of whiskey can be an excellent way to end a meal or enjoy a relaxing evening at home.
